Hey Daryl,

Are you moving to Wellington then?

guys
before you go throwing your felt soles out. please bear the following out.
1. As far as i know(open to correction) we have rocksnot already as it occurs as in a natural state apparently its a bit like the hycainth we have in the vaal. To date its not a problem as there is a natural biological control.
2. To all of us who fish in the vaal do not replace your felt soles as aqua stealth does'nt work in the system.you cannot get the same grip with the rubber. several of us have tried, believe me.Ended up in some very unhappy positions.i figured rocky sandals had better grip!!!
3 the aquasole has been designed for the combination of walking and wading.ie cape and eastern cape streams thus it's going to a blend of both grip on dirt and subsurface rocks but the rubber is not as good as felt nor is it as good as your more durable hiking rubber soles.
4. i thinks its a good thing for NZ to go that route because of the rocksnot but there is no need for us to do the same. so guys slowly please

Gary
